About Forever Care 

Helping Atlanta’s IDD Community Live Fully Since 2012

Forever Care Inc. was founded by a group of volunteers, healthcare professionals, and families who believed people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) deserved more than institutions — they deserved real homes, real friendships, and real opportunities.

Today, we provide daily support that helps individuals live safely, build skills, and thrive as active, valued members of their communities across Metro Atlanta. Our focus is on creating choice, belonging, and independence at every step.

The organization is governed by the Board of Directors, which is composed of individuals who work without compensation on behalf of the members. The Board operates as a policy-making entity, utilizing the Policy Governance® model, in order to effectively fulfill the legal and moral responsibilities of governing an organization as large and complex as Forever Care Inc. The Board's primary focus is on determining agency outcomes. We achieve this by establishing "ends" policies that specify the individuals whose lives our organization should impact, the categories of distinctions that should be made, and the cost or priority associated with these changes. We will be able to establish expectations that are in accordance with the aspirations of our community by understanding your values in these areas.
